How long does it take before I can get Broadband installed and is it available to everyone?

Broadband can only be installed on an existing telephone line. Therefore, we will only be in a position to test a line for Broadband suitability after it has been installed in your new premises. This means that from the time your telephone line is installed and it qualifies for Broadband, it can take up to 10 working days to have active Broadband.

Can I keep my Broadband connection up to the day I move premises?

Yes, you must advise at time of placing an order for your move that you wish to keep your Broadband until you have moved into your new premises.

Can I take my existing telephone number(s) with me when I move?

If you are moving within an area that is covered by your current telephone exchange, then you should be able to keep your telephone number. In the event that you are moving outside your current telephone exchange, eir can arrange to have calls to your old telephone number forwarded to your new premises. Alternatively, we can organise to set up an extended absence greeting which allows you to set up a message on your old telephone number advising of your move and new telephone numbers.

If I have to change my telephone number, will I know my new number in advance?

Telephone numbers will not be guaranteed until the day of the move and the telephone lines have been installed and tested.

Can I get help with moving my telephone system?

eir Business Systems will move eir telephone systems . We will not move phone systems belonging to any other company. However, a move is the ideal opportunity for you to upgrade to a new eir business telephone system. Email us at: ebs_marketing@eir.ie
